LIVE Collector's Vinyl, For those collectors out there! Options

[sh4rpz]

Hi guys,

hope everyone had a nice Easter and holiday!


I recently contacted Swami about some LIVE vinyl I was interested in, and he sent me a list of some vinyl items he has up for sale.

These are extremely rare, and if anyone who has tried to get their hands on ANY LIVE vinyl will tell you, they are generally expensive and not at all easy to find.

He wanted me to share this list with the LIVE collecting community and fans wanting a piece of LIVE vinyl history, so please contact him if you're interested in any of the vinyl below:

thanks for posting. nice to see what Swami has left. I've bought vinyl from him before. Solid guy. His prices are a bit high on things (people can check ebay and discogs for prices. Take Virtuosity for instance which can be picked up sealed for less than $5), but with him, you KNOW what you are getting.

I wish he still had some of the holiday gifts. Still need '97

Email him, he might have some still leftover. These items are exclusively vinyl and laserdisc listings.

I'm sure he has singles and holiday gifts for sale on CD.

yeah, I've been in touch with him, and should have a recently updated list. I'm not really interested in 99% of the stuff on CD. The later holiday gifts on CD were from the V era and after, and I have no interest in this stuff. I've been slowly trying to piece together everything they have released on vinyl over the years.

Same here. Looking for LIVE vinyl. Very hard to find - luckily swami had some for sale!

What was the '97 gift? I know I had/have a couple of the vinyls, but I'd have to dig around.

The only Live vinyl that I own is the 1999 FOL Holiday Gift. It's #348 of 1800 copies of the Vine Street single, with Sun (Loop Version) on Side B. The cardboard sleeve is autographed by all 4 members of the band at the time.

merica, with a live version of Mirror Song, and a remix of Lakini's Juice. http://www.livediscography.com/lcr_sec3_fa...html#afr002_usa

I also need the '99 that Aitkens described, which looks like a vinyl version of the Millennium Gift CD (which I have, from attending that show). Is the autograph on the vinyl real, because it's a damn stamp on the Millennium Gift, which was kind of insulting.

I'm curious about the 98 gift. I have the Red variant, and that is the only one I have ever seen. My roommate in college also received the red variant, and any that pop-up on eBay from time to time all seem to be red. Swami also lists a Red / blue translucent variant. Is that a mixed color vinyl? and does that mean they pressed 3600 gifts? seems a bit high. I wonder what the true details are on the color variants and number pressed for the '98 gift.

With the vinyl that I have the autograph is not on the vinyl itself, it is on the cardboard sleeve. It is a legit autograph, not a stamp.

I have both the red vinyl and the red/blue vinyl. I can post photos of it on the weekend if you're interested.

As far as I'm aware the 1999 vinyl did not come with signatures on the sleeve. The 1999 gift came with a separate postcard which has printed autographs. Did you get yours direct from Homespun or did you buy it from somebody else?

Aitkens, if you have an actual autograph on yours then enjoy that gem man. Mine is like Dan described. It's from homespun.

I'd love to see what that red/blue looks like. thanks dangum! so did they actually press 3600 (1800 each) or was it 1800 total? 3600 seems like a huge jump from the previous year.

[Aitkens]

I received mine from FOL. At one point they had a deal going that if you spent so much on a single purchase an autographed vinyl single was included in your order for free. The promo did not last long, so I jumped in as soon as it went up. This was at some point during 2000 I believe.

I will post images shortly.

that is cool! much different than the lame stamp. I wonder how many of those they shipped out with actual autographs.
